Catch a Heatran
Entry Location:
Stark Mountain

To catch a Heatran go through Stark Mountain and then when you see Buck in a room, and he is taking the stone, he says stuff and then walks off... Well then you have to go to his house in the survival area or battle zone and talk to him again. He says he is going to go put it back. Then go to stark mountain again in the same room were buck finds the treasure and there is Heatran. Be careful and save because he is lvl 70 and he is fire-ground type. Make sure you have a lot of dusk, ultra and luxury balls with you.

Getting Leafeon and Glaceon
Entry Location:
Eterna Forest / Route 217

Since Eevee aren't as freakishly super rare as in every single game in this game this is easier with the National dex, Pal Park, and the breeding center.The National dex allows the trophy garden to get much more pokemon. Take 1 or 2 Eevee, 1 or 2 rare candys and 3 max repels. For Leafeon, in Eterna Forest near the upper corner of the entrance area is a mossy stone.Get near it and use a rare candy or do it the old fashioned way to lv. up. It should evolve into Leafeon. For Glaceon, in the Blizzard Zone go to the blizzard coated field and head to the north eastern part of the field, you will find a frozen stone. Use a rare candy or fight to lv. up. It should evolve into a Glaceon.

Mesprit and Cressilia are tricky to get, but you can try to use quick balls on them since they'll run away after you throw a poke ball (any kind) if it dosen't work. Also, try using a Wobbufet or Wynaut since their ability prevents escape.

Dividing A Pokemon's Type
Entry Location:
Pokemon Center

Sometimes it's better to divide your Pokemon's types into different boxes. You can split up all the Pokemon into different boxes. Remember to name the boxes by the Pokemons' type. Example: You can name a box "Water" and put water type Pokemon and other water types that have two types. You can also put Pokemon in different boxes depending on it's color. I suggest types. And this can make it easier for you to remember which box your Pokemon are in.

Avoiding Double Battles
Sometimes, you can notice that if you walk in between two trainers, you get into double battles. Well, to avoid that, just talk to one of the trainers. Make sure you talk to him from the side. Doing this will get you into a single battle. Then go to the other trainer and get into another single battle. It takes longer, but it's handy if you're like me, who raise only one Pokemon. (Note: if both of the trainer's sides are blocked off, you can't do this trick).

Easy way to get a Vespiquen
Despite vespiquen's looks, she (always female 100% of the time) learns three unique and exclusive moves like Attack order (at lv.37), Heal order (at lv.25), and finally defend order (at lv.13) which is only a stat raiser and you'll need to go to a move re-learner.

To get started you'll need the three things:
1)Sweet honey, can be obtained by buying it from a man around the flower field around Floaroma town or by having a Combee already in your party.
2)Find a gold-ish tree (it's very distinct)
3)PATIENCE! (this could take several hours.)

What you need to do is go up to a golden tree, use the sweet honey, and wait a couple of hours or until the tree shakes. SAVE! before you go up to the tree and then press a if it's not a wild FEMALE Combee reset the game and check the tree
until you get her and reset if you don't, then there's the catching and all that so she'll evolve into Vespiquen at lv.21 or so.
